Clojure and Erlang (apples and oranges -- they both taste good)

At the next meetup Thomas and Lars will compare code in Erlang and Clojure.

The idea is to challenge Clojure with problems from the Erlang world and the other way around - this should hopefully bring about interesting insights about the strengths and weaknesses of both languages.

We plan to publish the code we create for the meetup on github as we go along (see below), so you can contribute with ideas, comments etc. if you feel like it!

Update: moved to the 5th of June!

Update - an extra presentation:

Agustin will present briefly about how erlang will be used to replace the current backend of the location-based mobile game Gbanga.

The "Erlang in Gbanga" presentation really doesn't say anything without the explanations, I am ashamed to post them to the open world :p, but I can promise to do a "proper" presentation after the system goes to production :D.

It was a good start for getting us going. I find it important that someone with knowledge checks out alternatives to Erlang from time to time. We can relax in the meantime and continue to assume that Erlang is the best language (for our business).Thanks!
